Nordland (boat)
The Nordland boat (or (ノルウェー語:Nordlandsbåt)), is a type of fishing boat that has been used for centuries in northern counties of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark of Norway and derives its name from Nordland county where it has a long history. It has dominated the Lofoten and Vesterålen islands fishing industry for centuries and is closely related to the old Viking longships.
==Construction==
The Nordland boat has a clinker, or lapstrake hull design and has its rudder on the sternpost. Its length varies from the smallest of fourteen feet to well over forty and usually has a length-beam ratio of 3-1 to 4-1. It has a high prow, stern, shallow keel, v-hull and has an inboard gunwale, which can be used to drain off the fishing nets when they are drawn on board. Some of the larger Nordlanders have a detachable cabin that is used for shelter, often having a wood burning stove inside.〔Christiansen (1968) p.85〕
The Nordlander normally carries a large single square sail with the largest boats carrying a topsail. It's one of the few types of boats that still carries such a sail to the present day.
Oak had been a favorite wood for ship builders for centuries for its resistance to rot, strength, and durability. However, oak is not native to Norway north of the county of Trøndelag and is also a heavy wood which would make such boats difficult to pull up on shore, which was done on a daily basis. For these reasons, the materials used for the Nordland is almost exclusively made of pine, and in the northern regions, fir.〔Christiansen (1968), p.82-3〕 Pine and fir are lighter woods which would make it easier to be drawn up on shore, but at the expense of durability.
